Bowl Line Dunedin
Since 1987 in the Big Red Building
Dunedin bowlers have used these lanes since 1987, in a Kaikorai Valley Road landmark that the venue nicknames the Big Red Building. Its own website does not give a lane count; a listing on PlaySport puts it at 18 lanes. Away from the lanes there is an arcade with air hockey and a pool table.
League bowlers are well looked after, with a 200+ Club and a public Hall of Fame of scores. The kitchen holds a food verification certificate and the bar a liquor licence, and the menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options. The centre hosts birthday parties, hen and stag groups and meetings, and it rents out a room for functions.
